Phone Dialer Pro ver 4.0
========================

Post installation setup.
------------------------

Present version has an extra option: AUTO DETECT BUSY.
To take the full avantage of that option and to optimize dialing to the hardware it is recommended to dial the busy line first.
The way to acchieve that is to dial yourself, ist. dial the phone number of the line the computer is connected to.
Let it do busy redial several times. After that the dialing will be optimized.

PRACTICAL, SELECTIVE SORTING at any time !!
Phone book entries and speed buttons often become nightmares of ‘no longer truly alphabetical’ lists. 
Axelrod can end up among the first speed dial buttons while Aaron rests near the end because of the original order of input. Scrolling can no longer rely on alphabetical parameters - other than knowing the first letter the listing comes under.
PHONE DIALER PRO uniquely and selectively sorts each alphabetical index , letter by letter or the whole address book. And allows an alphabetical sort for all entries under each Subject Heading tab.
Enter and move on. Sort at any time, as often as you like - for the sake of one new entry or to quickly tidy up weeks of entries.
